Fluorescence-Guided Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Breast Cancer: Detection Rate...
Vaz, Teresa; Costa, Susy; Peleteiro, BárbaraIntroduction: Sentinel lymph node biopsy is currently the standard surgical procedure for lymph node staging in patients with early stage breast cancer. It is performed using different techniques, such as the injection of vital dyes and / or radioisotopes and, more recently, guided by fluorescence using Indocyanine green. The aim of this study is to assess the detection rate of sentinel lymph node using Indocya...
